I think anyone that would dispute that kind of violence could occur has never seen the aftermath of a "necklace party" in the middle east, stonings, or other methods of treating criminals (or women who acted outside their "role).

And for those who would use the movie as an excuse to persecute Jews, they should be given tours of Dachau, Treblinka, Auschwitz, and shown what the results of persecution can do.

It's kind of sad that in 2000 years society has only taken baby steps towards abolishing xenophobia.
